THAT Dakota is among the more
salubrious and healthful regions ii
the country is not the mere romance
OF immigration literature. one indi-
cation of its freedom from disease is
noticeable in the fact that the drug
business is greatly less in proportion
to population than in the states. In
the towns, except where saloons are
not licensed, there are not half the
drug stores usually found in Illinois
and Indiana. The physicians are also
much less numerous. and Il very re.
markable proportion of their business
is due to the generous contributions
of the patriotic married people to the
population. The undertakers are al.
ways grumbling at the scanty business
afforded them. In Sioux Falls last
year the death rate was less than five

In Il communication to Auditor
Ward, Il. +. McGee, Il prominent law
yer of Minneapolis, brings to bear IL
mass of decisions that are apparently

OF railroad lands. Among others he
quotes from the decision of the su-
preme court Of New Jersey, in the
case of State VS.. Mansfield. as follows:
sTlle charter Of the Camden and
Amboy Railroad and Transportation
company, after reserying certain i'm
posts, declared that no other tax or
impost shall be levied or assessed up.
Oh the said company" The charter
conferred upon the company general
power to purchase, receive and hold
real and personal estate; and it had
acquired certain houses in the town
of Mansfield, which it let to it's work.

and lots having been assessed for
taxes by the authorities of the town,
the corporation sued out IL writ of

were exempt under the provisions of

Gliding the case, said that the general

The Chicago Printers.

CHICAGO, Nov 10. The action of the Press
mems Union is still the most important factor
in the difficulty between the Typothete and the
Typographical Union. The pressmen are still
at work and still comforting" with both
seance with the emergency committee of the
Typothetse, which placed before them the stem
ogrsphc report of negotiations between the
employing printers and the Typographical Union
last year. At that time the newspaper typos
came an amicable arrangement with their
en- ployerS and made a contract on a revised
scale for five years. The EMPLOYING printers
then requested the Typographical Union to send
a committee with full powers to confer with
them. revise the scale and settle all difficulties
so that similar contract might be made. The
committee met. and the printers claim it was
only the factious action of the union officers
which prevented q solid and enduring agree
ment at that time. The proofs of this, it
is stated, were placed before the pressmen's
committee, which seemed much impressed. No
Typothetse and their former employees was tax
en-, the former stating that such conference
would be useless. they could depend on
the union living up to any agreement made at
such conference The pressmen after wards
conferred with the strike committee of the
union, which, at che conclusion of the confer
ence, went into executive session. The definite
action of the Pressmen's Union can be- no longer
delayed. If they decide to withdraw the mani
festo published by them last week and stand by
the employers, it will probably soon conclude
the strike with the Typothete on top. If, how
ever as Is more probable they insist on a con-
tair basis of settlement will soon be arrived at.
Both sides still profess the utmost confidence in
an ultimate victory. Their ranks are still I'M
broken. though the employers state that a small
number of their former union employes have
called upon them to propose terms for their in
diyidual return to their old positions
